Question 6984
A passenger car with the environmental sticker shown in the image, classified as C, is it allowed to drive in a VAO lane if its only occupant is the driver?
- Yes, as long as it displays the sticker on the windshield.
- No, unless the variable message signs authorize its access.
- Yes, even if it does not display the sticker on the windshield.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, unless the variable message signs authorize its access.
A C environmental badge, like the one in the image, is not enough to enter the HOV lane with only the driver. The variable message signs at the entrance must authorize access, and in that case the badge must be affixed to the vehicle. Without authorization on the sign, the passenger car must meet the minimum occupancy for that section.
